Causes
- Incorrect fuel quantity from Cylinder 4 injector (under-delivery)
- Electrical problem in injector circuit (open, high resistance, poor ground)
- Clogged or sticking injector
- Low system fuel pressure or poor fuel supply to that injector
- Mechanical engine problem affecting cylinder (low compression, intake/exhaust leak)
- PCM calibration/software or learning procedure fault
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on
- Rough idle or vibration, especially at idle
- Misfire felt from cylinder 4
- Loss of power or hesitation under load
- Poor fuel economy and increased emissions
- Code returns immediately after clearing or after short drive cycles
What to check
- Read freeze frame and live data with a scan tool: cylinder-specific fuel trims, injector pulse width, short-term/long-term trims
- Check for other related codes (misfire, fuel pressure, PCM faults)
- Visually inspect connector, wiring harness and ground for cylinder 4 injector
- Measure fuel rail pressure and verify within manufacturer spec
- Measure injector coil resistance and compare to spec
- Backprobing injector signal with oscilloscope or scope-capable scan tool to verify switching waveform
Signal parameters
- Injector coil resistance: vehicle-specific (typical low-impedance 1.0–3.5 Ω; typical high-impedance 10–18 Ω) — compare to spec
- Injector pulse width at idle: typical 1–4 ms (depends on engine/load)
- Battery voltage: 11–14.5 V during tests
- Short-term/long-term fuel trim per cylinder: watch for large negative or positive corrections
- Adaptive offset learning value: reached minimum limit (displayed as min value or saturated flag on scan tool; exact units are vehicle-specific)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Connect a capable scan tool and record codes, freeze frame and live data. Note cylinder 4 fuel trim, injector pulse width and misfire counters.
- Clear codes, perform an idle/drive cycle and watch whether the P02D2 returns and how quickly the offset value reaches limit.
- Visually inspect the wiring, connectors, and ground for cylinder 4 injector for corrosion, damage, loose pins or poor connections. Repair any obvious faults.
- Measure injector coil resistance at the connector (engine off). If out of spec or open/shorted, replace the injector.
- Backprobe the injector driver with an oscilloscope while cranking/running. Verify correct square wave switching, consistent pulse widths and no excessive noise or missing pulses.
- Check fuel rail pressure and regulator operation under load and at idle. Repair fuel supply issues if pressure is low or fluctuating.
- Swap the cylinder 4 injector with another cylinder’s injector and rerun the scan data: if the learned offset fault follows the injector, replace the injector; if it stays on cylinder 4, investigate wiring/PCM/engine mechanical issues.
- If electrical checks pass and injector swapped without reproducing the fault, perform compression and/or leak-down test on cylinder 4 to rule out mechanical causes.
- If wiring harness and mechanical tests are good, consider PCM software/calibration update or PCM replacement as a last resort after OEM technical service bulletins and procedures are checked.
- After repair, clear codes and perform required injector adaptation/learn procedures per manufacturer. Confirm the offset value moves into normal range and the code does not return.
Likely causes
- Faulty or partially clogged injector on cylinder 4
- High injector coil resistance or intermittent open/short in injector wiring/harness/connector
- Weak fuel pressure or intermittent fuel delivery to rail
- Intake leak, valve issue or low compression causing apparent lean condition on that cylinder
- Corroded connector or poor ground at injector
- PCM reached adaptive limit due to repeated misfire or long-term fuel delivery issue
Fault status
Status
PCM reports Cylinder 4 Fuel Injector A offset learning value has reached the minimum allowed correction limit. The PCM cannot compensate further for the cylinder's fuel delivery, indicating an injector delivery or related system fault.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-2.5 hours
